Appendix I

Selected Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $41.8 million at June 30, 2022.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter 2022 were $7.8 million, compared to $12.8 million in the same period prior year. The decrease of $5.0 million was primarily due to decreases in the telaglenastat and CB-280 programs, partially offset by increases in the sapanisertib and mivavotinub programs.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2022 were $3.6 million, compared to $4.5 million in the same period prior year. The decrease of $0.9 million was primarily due to decreased personnel-related costs.

Other income, net for the second quarter 2022 was $2.3 million, compared to other expense of $4,000 in the same period prior year, primarily attributable to the decrease in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Net loss was $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
